I am fairly good at church pics, but just for fun here is a fail. I got a lot right with this picture, but in the end it is not a worthy picture at all. Just seemed fun to post a fail for a change to show that not everything comes out like one wants.

I don't get into town much at night, so grabbed this quick picture this evening. At times, this street is teeming with people, and is a major parade route through town. But tonight it was very quiet in town with few people out. And for those unfamiliar with Norwegian street names, "gate" essentially means "street," and is pronounced like "gotta" not "gayt."

I only rarely photograph street performers, but this guy was worth a snapshot. He was on this 10-foot high unicycle juggling flaming rods. This was his final bit. Notice that one of the fires has gone out, but that he is balancing the unicycle with only one foot.

Saint Patrick's Cathedral in Dublin is quite a church, with a storied history tied to the history of Ireland itself. But this isn't a history blog, it is a photo blog... mostly. So, here is a photo of the altar with a bit of framing for perspective.
